Little Babybell had to have her front leg removed after getting trapped in a mousetrap (Picture: SWNS)

A kitten who got her leg caught in a mousetrap was so badly injured that she had to have her leg removed.

And, as if things weren’t bad enough for four-week-old Babybell, she was then forced to confront her fears by posing next to device just like the one that took her leg.

The poor little kitten looks like she is suffering from post-traumatic stress as she stares wide-eyed at her tormentor.

Babybell was found in a Lewknor garden in Oxfordshire with the mousetrap on her leg, and was taken to an animal hospital in London however, due to the severity of her injuries, vets were forced to amputate her front left leg.

It is unknown if Babybell had a home before the accident, however vets believe she walked into the trap accidentally.

Although she lost her leg, the tiny kitten has made a full recovery in the Blue Cross animal rehoming centre in Lewknor and is looking for a new family to adopt her.
